Chapter 44- It's Over
"I never make a promise I can't keep," he told him, smiling. Aiming the gun at his forehead. "I always keep my promises." He smiled and Dom realized it was death smiling at him, glad to finally take him at last. He could only stare into those cold eyes as Tong's fingers put pressure on the trigger.
Dom closed his eyes, prepared to die. The shot rang out, but he felt no pain. Was he dead that fast? Was it that easy to cross over? He peeked an eye open just to be sure of what was going on.
Tong's eyes were wide the smile disappearing. He staggered looking behind him in shock. Dom could see Serena. Tong opened his mouth to speak but only the gurgle of blood came up and he fell flat on his face, unmoving.
Dom looked at Serena, the gun still held in her hand, aimed at where Tong had been. "So do I," she said, dropping the gun she had found on the floor near the boxes.
"Serena," Dom said, getting to his feet. She smiled and ran over to him, hugging him. Dom clung to her, holding her tightly in his arms, afraid to let her go for fear that it was all a dream or they'd be torn apart once more. But their threat was dead, lying in a pool of his blood, dead as a doornail. He kissed the top of her head, tears in his eyes. She was back, safe in his arms and he never wanted to let her go again.
Serena pulled away from him suddenly and ran past him. He heard her cry "Damon" and then remembered her fallen fiancé.
He turned around following her. She was already kneeling by his prone body. Dom got on his other side.
"Is he…?" she asked, looking at her brother with pleading eyes, willing him to be alive.
Dom remembered him taking a bullet to the chest for him, he'd be lucky to be alive. "I don't know," he put a hand on his shoulder, turning his body around to get a look at the wound.
Damon coughed and groaned when they did and Serena squealed with joy, hugging him tightly around the neck. He patted her arm. "Hon…need air."
"Oh sorry," she released her grip, holding his hand.
"There's no wound, no blood…how?" Dom asked in wonder.
Damon gasped, patting his chest and lifting his shirt, revealing the bulletproof vest. "I'm not stupid," he smiled, a little out of breath.
"You sly little bastard you," he grinned standing up. He held out his hand and Damon took it. He yanked the boy to his feet. "Glad you're alive. Like I said, you break her heart I break your neck. It's kinda hard to do if you're dead and haven't married her yet."
"But what about this blood?" Serena asked him, gesturing at his hands and shirt.
"It's not mine," he told her and she could read those three words. She nodded and hugged him. He hugged her back and then pulled back, looking at her. He touched her cheek and she smiled softly as he leaned in and kissed her, full on, missing the feel of her lips, her tongue, just missing her.
Dom cleared his throat. "I know you two haven't seen each other in like a day, but can you not do that in front of me…I'd appreciate it. She's still my little sister. I still see her as the four year old playing with her Hot Wheels on the ramp she built in the backyard and eating jello with her fingers. So don't do that."
Damon pulled back with a grin. "Sorry, won't happen again."
Serena smiled, her arm still around Damon. "What's he going to think we're doing on our honeymoon?"
"You're playing Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders and watching Little Mermaid," Dom told her. "I got it all planned out cause I'm goin with you."
"What will Letty say to that? You ditching her to be at our honeymoon?"
He frowned and snapped his fingers. "Damn, hadn't thought of that. Alright, I won't go. But just…just don't tell me what you guys did….i don't wanna hear it."
"I'll tell Letty and Mia then, if they tell you its your problem not mine."
Dom smiled and then remembered. "Oh, I think you'll want this back," Dom unfastened the necklace. Serena smiled lifting her hair up so he could put it back around her neck where it belonged.
"I kept it safe for you," he told her.
She twisted the oval shaped locket. "I had a feeling you would."
He put his arm around her and patted Damon on the shoulder. "What do ya say we get the hell out of here?"
"I say that's the best damn plan we've had all day," Serena chuckled as the three descended down the stairs, reuniting with family and friends.
